Journey of a Lifetime - Infinit Nutrition Canada

In 2004, I had just finished my 3rd Ironman at Lake Placid, getting in under 11.5 hrs. I was happy, but I knew that my nutrition wasn't
allowing me to reach my full potential. I was already deploying an all
liquid diet for the race as I had learned at training camps and from other
racers this was the easiest and best way to maximize caloric intake. I
still felt there was more I could do; I wasn't able to freely ingest my nutrition, literally, I was forcing it down.

As with many triathletes, I was on Slowtwitch and often heard about Infinit Nutrition. I thought it was
a rather far fetched claim - they are going to customize a blend to match my
body, my preferences, the sport and intensity that I will compete at.. I had to ask myself.. really? Seemed too good to be true. Boy was I wrong. I trained hard again, like in previous years, in preparation for my 4th Ironman at Lake Placid - but something about this years training was different. I simply got better calories in and way more; I would estimate
I was getting 50% more calories in. I did 8 century rides in preparation for the July
race and they were way different that before; no more limping home in the Windsor-Essex heat, I
was strong on my pedals all the way home. What was best was the quick recovery afterwards - I was actually ready to take on the rest of the day and I
wasn't lost to my family because I was completely depleted. Of course you feel like you just covered 100 miles, but it was in a good way. 2005
Ironman was epic for me - went 10:45 - shaved over 45 minutes of my time and finished
134th overall - this was a huge accomplishment for me. So of course in
2006 I bought the rights to Infinit Nutrition Canada and a few years later this
has become my career.

So what just happened? What has happened and does
happen every day is we help athletes of every level become even better
athletes. It doesn't matter if you are a triathlete, rower, runner, volleyball player, rugby player, a cyclist, etc - when you give us 30 minutes
we make you a better athlete. We simply allow you to achieve your
potential. A few examples, not to boast, but to demonstrate the point:

Jay Kineslla - Accomplished Ultrarunner - started fuelling him
in 2016 - dream season, including breaking a record at the Tahoe 200 Mile race.

Melissa Bishop - began working together after first Olympics
- support her dream 2015 and 2016 seasons, and a return to the Olympic Games in Rio - Fastest 800m Canadian women ever!

Ben and Chaim - started to work together for the 2015 season -
supportive of their top 10 ranking and trip to the Olympics in beach
volleyball.

Canadian CrossFit athlete - started working together in 2014
after he failed to qualify for the CrossFit games - 2 years later finishes Top
5 at the Games.

Lionel Sanders - started working together after he finishes 4th
at Ironman Texas - good result for many, but not close to his potential.
Now he is the fastest Ironman athlete ever.

All of these athletes were great before we started working
with them but we helped them find their potential by providing them with a sound sport nutrition plan and quality fuel. We do this for all levels of
athletes - from weekend warriors to age groupers, and everyone in between. You receive the same treatment any one of these athletes received - we will
spend 30 minutes with you on the phone or in person to understand you as an athlete, discuss what has
worked, what hasn't nutritionally, talk about your sweat rate, hydration and
then build a formulation for you that has all you need to perform. I still
find it amazing we have a business model that allows us to do this, those who
have spent 30 minutes (or more) with me on the phone or in person, know I am a
geek and absolutely love this stuff. Its not rocket science, but when
you get this right good things happen and you feel great doing
it.

For many reading this, you know this and are happy loyal
customers. What we are hoping is for you to share the word - Infinit
Nutrition Canada has more to give. If you know an athlete that is not fuelled
to their potential - send them this blog post, we would love the opportunity to
fuel them. Of course as was the word from a recent customer - don't share
if they are your fierce competitor.
